Description:
The Hill Chorus is a community choir run by the music societies of the ‘hill colleges’. It is open to the whole, extended community: staff, students, fellows, friends, and locals! We sing a range of music both sacred and secular, ancient and modern. Rehearsals are weekly, on Wednesday evenings, starting October 4th, in the Recital Room. We generally sing one, relaxed, informal concert per term featuring a variety of short items. There are no auditions or prerequisites so give it a try whether you’re pitch perfect or tone deaf!

Description:
The Orchestra on the Hill (OotH) brings together instrumentalists from the ‘Hill Colleges’ to play chamber orchestral music to a high-­standard (about Grade 8) and for occasional collaborations with Inter Alios. OotH is always keen to recruit from new players, especially brass and strings! OotH also provides great opportunities to conduct and pay concerti. Rehearsals are on Sundays, 1-­3pm in the recital room, with a first, open, one hour rehearsal on Sunday 8 th October.

Description:
The ‘Inter Alios’ choir is a joint venture between Churchill College where it serves the Christian Chapel at Churchill College, and Murray Edwards College where it serves the ‘Humanist Happenings’ Series: a new format which is broadly similar to chapel services, but with no theological content. A typical event features a short address on a topical theme, partnered with music and poetry to match. The choir thus provides its members with an opportunity to experience the traditional (Christian) Cambridge Choral Scholar experience and to sing the great works of that repertoire, while also participating in the creation of a new and unique offering.
